TWO INDICTMENTS PRESENTED HE IS ACCUSED OF FORGERY; ALSO i OF ABDUCTING AND ASSAULTING MAY WINTAGE THE GIRL AT I TEMPTED TO COMMIT SUICIDE HE PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO THE CHARGES. The members of the Grand Jury filed Into the County Court at 10:30 o'clock this morning, and the foreman, John C. Tatum, handed Judge Hurd a batch of indict ments. Among them was one accusing William E. Valentine of several charges, He was arraigned on two separate indictments, one for forgery In the second de gree and grand larceny In the second de gree, and the other for abducting and criminally assaulting May Wintage.

the young girt who attempted to commit sui cide a lew days, ago. Valentine Is alleged to be one of the principals in the greatest swindling scheme that has ever been unearthed in this country. Those who are familiar with the fact say it involves millions of dollars. The members, it is alleeed. suc ceeded in getting immense sums of money ana gooa-s Dy various devices, which enabled them to live like princes.

So much has already been written of the operations of tne gang that the authorities have declined to giye out the real facts In the case. It is said, however, that Valentine was used as a teol by slick swindlers. In answer to the usual question the prisoner pleaded not guilty to both in dictments, and said that he could afford to employ counsel to defend him. No date was fixed for the trial. District Attorney Backus Is greatly in censed at the statements which have ao- pearea in some newspapers regarding his connection with the case.

Before Valentine was arraigned the District Attorney saia: 'If Valentine does- not plead guilty shall have nothing whatever to say. The newspapers have reported me incorrectly, and their statements are positively ridiculous. Until he pleads guilty I have noth ing to say." In the first Indictment is charged with obtaining $30 from Henry Batterman, the big Broadway dry goods merchant, on a forged check, drawn to his own order on a Woodlawn bank, and pur ported to be signed by William Monk. The other indictment alleges that Valentine assaulted and abducted May Wintage, the young Newtown girl, who, It is alleged, lived with him at 273 Adams street. She is not yet 16 years old.

The District Attorney's office, it Is said, first became aware of the existence of Valentine through the alleged confession of the girl after She had attempted to commit suicide. It was at first thought that' Miss Wint age helped the prisoner in passing his worthless checks, but upon Investigation, this was round to be untrue. Mr. Backus was again asked to make a statement, but he distinctly refused, be cause Valentine had not pleaded guilty. TROUBLE AHEAD.

Obstacles in the Way of the New East River Bridge. i THE AMERICAN SUGAR REFINING JcOMVANT RAISES AN UNEXPECTED OBSTRUCTION TO THE WORK OF THE COMMISSIONERS WANT? NEW BUILDING ERECTED. The East River Bridge Commissioners met to-day in their offices, 49 and 51 Chambers street. New York City, all the mem bers being present. The principal part of the session was given over to a discussion of the specifications for the foundation of the towers on the Brooklyn side of th river.

It was learned to-day that the Commis-' sioners are likely to have some aimcuity In arrivlnsr at an arrangement with- the American Sugar Refining Company, which has a large storage house at tne foot 01 South Fifth street, directly on the site pf the tower. The Sugar Company demands that. In lieu of their present facilities, the Commissioners- shall erect for them a new bulldiner cf the same capacity ae the one which they have taken. The Commis sioners, on the other hand, allege that, as their powers have been directly confined by legislation to the erection of the bridge and no other building, this cannot be done. There is a large space underneath the Bridge, and the Commissioners hope to be able to satisfy the demands of the sugar company, by using this for storage purposes, and giving it to the sugarjeompamy in exenange iur meir uuiiu.us- CHOLERA ABATING IN EGYPT, NO DEATH OR NEW CSE "IPOR SEV- ERAL DAYS PAST.

ONE OF MORE THAN LOCAL FAME WRITE3 THAT THE DAWN OF RETURNING PROSPERITY HAil CONVINCED HIM HE WAS WRONG. Canton, Nov. 11. Major McKlnley stole a march on his secretaries this morning, and when they arrived at the house he was hard at work upon the mall. There were nearly twice as many letters as he had received by any ether mall since the election.

The mail contained a great many messages of congratulations, and there was a large number of letters from people in the States which were carried by Mr. Bryan. The writers In every case expressed the heartiest satisfaction over Major Melon-ley's election. Several of the letters from the silver States came from men" who voted for Bryan. One man of more than local fame wrote: "I voted for free and now thai I see the dawn of returning prosperity that has come with your election, I want to say frankly that I was wrong.

What the country needed was not more or cheaper money, but confidence, and your splendid victory has restored it." How Is I Secured Next Year to IN NEW ELECTION DISTRICTS r- BonnJafy Lines Will Be Materially Changed, CREATING IT WILL AFFECT WARD COMMITTEES AND CONVENTIONS HOW IS THE REAL VOTE TO BE ASCERTAINED AND APPORTIONED JOHN SHERMAN AT THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB TO-NIGHT TIMOTHY I WOODRUFF'S VOTE IN COUNTY AND STATE ELECTION EXPENSES OF CANDIDATES. Last night at the Republican- Genral Committee meeting a very Interesting question was propounded by Sheriff Buttling, i 'it related to the position of new election districts, as they will be made, up next by the Board of Elections, pursuant to law, and how the new districts will be affected In their representation. The Board of Elections will between the 1st of January. 1897, and the 1st of July, 1897, so arrange the election districts of Brooklyn that they will contain as nearly 400 voters as possible. This will reduce the number of districts from the present 629 to about 525, as nearly as can be estimated In advance.

The districts so formed are e' likely to be disturbed for at least two years, and only then If they fall below 250 voters or Increase over 600. Next year there will be no State Convention, only onSTState offlcsr, a Judge of the Court ol Appeals, in place of Chief Judge Charles Andrews, having to be nominated. Bu.t locally there will be ward committees to be dealt with, arid a county convention. Assembly conventions and a Judicial convention. The city convention is not dwelt upon because of the Greater New York, which may require different representation.

The -representation In the ward committees and conventions will be based upon the Presidential vote, and If there was to be no material change of districts, could be readily arranged. But the changes are likely to be-material, and this is where the conflict of representation will arise. As Sheriff Buttling put It, "Assume that In some' ward a district has cast 'ninety Republican votes and 223 Popocratlc votes. That district now has representation, say two delegates In the Ward Committee, one In the County Convention, and the- exigencies of the Board of Elections cut this district and add part of another dis trict, which has cast a larger Republican vote, but which is also cut up by the ne boundary lines, how are we going to get at the proper representation to which the new district be entitled? Boundary lines foe the district can be made, very true, but how are we, for com mlttee and convention purposes, going to ascertain the Republican votes of the split- up and added ends?" "It will be all right In districts kept in tact, but it will give us conundrums to solve In the new districts," reflectively re marked the Sheriff. And it is true.

There will be some nice mathematical calculations required. Another thing the Sheriff said last night and repeated this morning, and that was that he had not a return to single votes by districts instead of the present method in use In city and county conventions. WOODRUFF' VOTE. A friend of the Lielitenant-Governor-elect Timothy L. Woodruff calls attention to a misapprehension of the votes cast in Kings County for the StLfe.

ticket. On the first incomplete returna, it seemed that Mr. Woodruff had run behind his mate. Governor-elect Black, The returns at Police Headquarters have been carefully figured out, and an Unofficial canvass shows that Mr. Woodruff runs ahead in every ward, except, thef Thlr and that hla total vote is 1,803 excess of Mr.

Black's. Further, evidenjee of the running quality of Mr. Woodrui lies in the' fact that the vote of the Popocratlc Lieutenant-Governor Is very largely behind that of the" Popocratic candidate for Governor, votes that undoubtedly Went to Woodruff. On the official canvass, the figures will probably grow even larger than the police returns show, and may run up to $5,000. Mr.

Woodruff's friend stated. In addition to the figures hown In Kings County, that the Lieutenant-Governor ran ahead in Erie County, in Oneida County, and in many other counties, and it would not surprise him if the Lieutenant-Governor's vote in the whole State' lapped over the head of the ticket votes. It gives evidence that Woodruff's friends were energetic all over the. State. UNION LEAGUE DINNER.
